CONNIE PANZARINO At A Pride March In Boston Circa 1990

Connie is marching along in her sip 'n' puff (SNP) wheelchair. She is wearing a patterned poncho and sporting a green felt party crown on her head. She styles a pair of wire-rimmed glasses with her slicked back hair. She is smiling. Attached to the back of her wheelchair is a large green cardboard poster that reads "Trached Dykes Eat Pussy Without Comin' Up For Air!" followed by a pink upside-down triangle with a stick figure person in a wheelchair at the centre (a symbol for disabled women)

CONNIE PANZARINO at a pride march in Boston circa 1990

[ID: Connie is marching along in her sip 'n' puff (SNP) wheelchair. She is wearing a patterned poncho and sporting a green felt party crown on her head. She styles a pair of wire-rimmed glasses with her slicked back hair. She is smiling. Attached to the back of her wheelchair is a large green cardboard poster that reads "Trached Dykes Eat Pussy Without Comin' Up For Air!" followed by a pink upside-down triangle with a stick figure person in a wheelchair at the centre (a symbol for disabled women)].

(...) “Trached dykes eat pussy without coming up for air.” Connie Panzarino, a longtime disability activist and out lesbian, would attach this sign to her wheelchair during
Pride marches in Boston in the early 1990s. Shockingly explicit, her sign refuses to cast
technology as cold, distancing, or disembodied/disembodying, presenting it instead as
a source and site of embodied pleasure.
“Trach” is an abbreviation of tracheotomy, a medical procedure in which a breathing tube is inserted directly into the trachea, bypassing the mouth and nose. Someone
with a trach, then, can, in effect, breathe through her throat, freeing her mouth for other
activities (another version of this sign is “Trached dykes french kiss without coming up
for air”). From a cyborgian perspective, this sign is brilliantly provocative and productive. It draws on the pervasive idea that adaptive technologies grant superior abilities,
not merely replacing a lost capacity but enhancing it, yet it does so in a highly subversive
way. The message here isn’t about blending in, about passing as normal or hypernormal,
but about publicly announcing the viability of a queer disabled location. It’s disnormalizing, adamantly refusing compulsory heterosexuality, compulsory able-bodiedness, and
homonormativity. As Corbett O’Toole argues, it challenges the perceived passivity of
disabled women, presenting them as actively pleasuring their partners, thereby graphically refuting stereotypes linking physical disability with nonsexuality.

ONE DAY you wake up and your face looks a little different. Its not really the same shade of flesh that you've known your whole life. It's a bit off color, and seems like it's getting a little longer. Not too much, but long enough for you to really think about getting your mirror replaced.

The next day, when the moon is full, you collapse on the ground. Writhing in pain and clutching your unfamiliar body, agonizing pain floods your senses.

You notice your hair color is dark black, approximately shoulder length, and straight. The fat in your face has shifted. No matter what gender you were before, you realize you're now a half-Korean 35 year old man. Black headphones grow from the sides of your skull to wrap around your ears. Your bones snap as they reshape again, and all the genes in your body change their very structure into something newly alive.

Slowly, as the pain and fatigue subsides, you notice that you've transformed into a perfect identical biological copy of famous gamer youtuber, Markiplier.

Proof on why I think "immigrant" is starting to become a slur in 2025.

1. The term "expat". White people want to move to another country because they see a better opportunity there but they don't want to accept accept the term "immigrant"

Yes "expats" are real things and "immigrants" are real things but if people go out and study "immigrants" they study poor people of color even if they're technically "expats" and if they go out and study "expats" they study middle to upper class white people even if they're technically immigrants.

2. Elon Musk is an immigrant. He's from South Africa. He emigrated to the United States. He's an immigrant. But oddly enough no one's talking about people like him when they're talking about horrible immigrants invading the country. Is it the money? Is it the color of his skin?

3. Obama was accused of being from Kenya literally only because he's Black even after he showed his birth certificate.

I can guarantee you in like... 10-20 years "immigrant" is gonna be the next slur that people are using.

Gonna try and set up a Program to automatically send them AI generated nonsense with randomized locations and fake emails✨😌🏳️‍⚧️

Hey, the US gov just put up a tip line for teachers who say DEI or woke stuff. I’m sending this to any of the accounts I follow that seem able and potentially willing to spread this so we can spam it into uselessness! Link to form: https://enddei.ed.gov/

To make it easier, click here.

Everyone go spam the hell out of this! Let’s let these motherfuckers know we are not interred in their witch-hunting!

unfortunately for skizz, bdubs' court seems to work on bugs bunny logic. you can have a very sensible case with rational arguments, but that means nothing in a court where the bit is king. joe hills, however, picked this up immediately. he is a natural. please make him public defender I'm begging-
